Want smoother, clearer, more radiant skin? Chemical peels are designed to help you achieve just that, dramatically improving the appearance of your skin.

They are available in multiple strengths with the results depending on the type of chemical peel you get. If you are considering a facial, you may wonder, “Are chemical peels worth it?” Let’s find out!

Chemical Peels Are the Solution to Healthier, Vibrant Skin!

The first thing to note is the types of chemicals used in peels. These include the following acids: retinoic, lactic, glycolic, and salicylic to name a few. These peels can be applied superficially, or you could receive a deep chemical peel. Ultimately, you will work with your skin care specialist to determine the best route for your skin. 

During your treatment, your skin will first be thoroughly cleaned, and then a chemical solution applied. You may feel a slight burning sensation, and a cold compress will be applied. At the end of the treatment, the chemicals are washed off. These chemicals are used to cause a controlled injury that causes peeling of skin layers.

Are Chemical Peels Worth It?

You might look worse before you look better, but they are absolutely worth it. Be realistic about your expectations. Be patient during the healing process and know at the end of it all, you’ll have amazing skin.

If you’re still asking, “Are chemical peels worth it,” let’s look at the results. While they are going to vary based on the depth of your treatment, all are used to treat some types of acne, fine lines, wrinkles, mild scarring,  rough skin, and a dull complexion.

You will also notice a reduction in the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and liver spots, and you’ll also see a visible improvement in skin tone and texture.
